We bring together partners across the One Health spectrum to tackle AMR at scale and with the urgency it demands.
AMR is a multifaceted problem – no single industry is solely responsible for AMR so no single industry can solve it. That’s why we are working with partners from Australia’s food and agribusiness industries, environmental management sectors, government agencies and leading national and international research organisations to ensure industry is directly involved in understanding, managing and mitigating the risks posed by AMR.
